This site is the digital compadre to the IDEO Eyes Open series of experiential guidebooks, now available through Chronicle Books. Think of the site as a gathering place for interesting experiences that resonate with emerging themes in our lives, our communities, and our world.
Each month on the site, ideas for exploration (and the hosts who will introduce them) will change. Experiences will be drawn from a diverse group of IDEO teams, special guests, and you. We urge you to go forward, with eyes open.
Aging
Hosted by: Jose Colucci, IDEO
Aging is a new phenomenon. Never in human history have we had as many elders living among us as we do now. This is cause for celebration: Aging is one of the measures of a society’s well-being. Aging also poses social and economic challenges and offers opportunities for system-wide change. The short essays included here explore aging in the US, in China, in Germany, and in Mexico. We hope these stories will inspire designers, architects, engineers, urban planners, and other visionaries to think innovatively about the aging experience. Sooner or later, aging will be relevant to us all.
